Some feathers on Governor Soludo’s cap on his 19th day in office
Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the man of the people was inaugurated into the office of the Governor of Anambra state on March 17, 2022. Today marks his 19th day in office. Within this short period, the Governor has swept Anambra with a wave of change. Some of the tasks he took upon himself to accomplish proved to be uphill but being prepared before coming into office, Prof Soludo has marvelled the people of the state with his speed and efficiency in carrying out such tasks.
First, he started with Okpoko, the largest urban slum in the state. He saw Okpoko as a child in need of care and reached forth to carry this child. Even before coming into office, he has had the helpless infant close to his heart. He swung into action to save Okpoko. The day after his inauguration, Prof Soludo visited Okpoko where heaps of dirt and refuse welcomed him. The people of Okpoko sing his praises for the unbelievable difference he has brought with him. He is turning the community into a liveable town. Plans have been made and are already being carried out in structuring the drainage system of this place. Okpoko is sure to turn into a megacity in no distant time.
The Governor has also wiped off the Office of the Wife of the Governor. It is believed that the Governor did this because the constitution made no official reservations for the wife of the Governor to occupy an office. This cut which the Governor has made is sure to reduce the state’s cost of expenditures. Like the Governor promised on the day of his inauguration, there is neither time nor Kobo to waste. Dr. Chris Ngige and Mr. Peter Obi, the former Governors of the state didn’t have such a thing as the Office of the Wife of the Governor. Prof Soludo follows their steps.
Prof Soludo is making changes in the correctional service centres in the state. He visited the one in Ekwulobia and gave them his word on giving the place a total facelift. He personally inspected the area and had a chat with the officials and some of the inmates. He said that the renovation would cover the roofs to see that they stop leaking and other structures in bad condition would be repaired. He also talked about the issue of a power outages. He promised that power would be made available for them through solar energy. Prof Soludo also said that provisions for watching football, news, movies, religious activities, and entertainment would be made available for the inmates.
Governor Soludo brought an end to the Monday sit-at-home that was wrecking the boat of both the citizens and the state. On Monday 4th April 2022, the Monday sit-at-home order was officially called off. The people of the state were overjoyed to have life return to normalcy. Church services were held to observe the end of this order.
The Governor has done so many wonders in the state in such a short while. He has also released a list of commissioner-nominees to be approved by the state House of Assembly. He has held a meeting with leaders from foreign nations to bring development into the state’s threshold.
Prof Soludo is the peg that fits the perfect hole. He has surpassed the expectations of the people.
